Yes unfortunately your manually edited intervals will go. The activity files from Dropbox might not exactly match the Strava activities. ---

Hi, I would like to kindly inform you that Tredict now also offers Dropbox support in _both directions_ too. Just like Intervalls.icu. This means that power users can use Intervalls and Tredict at the same time now and sync each other as Dropbox with a middleman. Perfect life. Besot of both worlds. šŸ™‚ If I am informed correctly, those 2 platforms are the only ones who directly support Dropbox for reads and writes of activities? Anyways, a good day for data liberation. Hopefully Zwift will do the same at some point. I am in the middle of my life, so they have some decades left to achieve this! šŸ˜› If you like to read more about the Tredict Dropbox support, this is the blog post: [Using Dropbox to synchronise with other platforms](https://www.tredict.com/blog/using_dropbox_to_synchronize_with_other_platforms/) Happy intervalling! ---

Is it possible to have two folders syncā€™d? I have a folder for TrainerRoad workout/files and one for Wahoo rides/files. I am not sure if I am able to change where each app puts their .fit files when activities are completed and I do not want to go into Dropbox after each ride to move filesā€¦ ---

Hello! After syncing Strava with Dropbox via Tapiriik, my activities (runs) are now doubled. The date is selected for activities after 22 Feb 2023. Is there any way to revert it? Thank you. ![image](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/2/8/28a9cc4ab5e5cc1a2b91a392becf0d09da060f0b.png) ![image](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/0/2/023171b5270ce7ee223cd2b5347ad889c3642d0f.png) ---

The dropbox folder is a ā€˜transferā€™ and backup folder. Once the activity is in Intervals, all the data is in the Intervals database. If all your Strava activities were synced to dropbox, you can unlink Strava from Intervals but donā€™t close your Strava account. Then go to activity list view and filter activities by ā€˜Sourceā€™. Eliminate (delete) doubles by selecting and batch delete. In this case I would think that you keep the ones from Dropbox and delete the ones from Strava. (remember, you delete them from Intervals, not from Strava!) If you make a mistake, you can always ā€˜undeleteā€™ but be cautious anyway. Once youā€™re happy with the result and are sure that you have everything in Dropbox or Garmin or some other source, you can stop the sync from Strava permanently. ---

Thanks for the feedback. I decided to become a supporter. Now I want the other way around, to delete the doubled activities from Dropbox and resync with Strava. I am not able to batch delete - it says ā€œundeleteā€? ![image](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/3/8/385ab2a913dce339a7751b682773bfb9d75e7de7.png) ---

Update: resolved. Iā€™ve had simultaneously selected two filters. But now it seems Iā€™m not able to re-sync with Strava - I mean, I clicked the button, but the activities are not synced - I only have the ones from Garmin Connect. Am I missing something - any ideas? Thank you. ---

Have you checked the box called ā€œhide deleted activitiesā€? If Garmin is there, then Strava might be hidden/deleted. ---

I can see quite a few Strava activities (both deleted and normal) on your calendar. You can do Options ā†’ Show deleted activities + Show activity source to see them. ---

Thanks for your feedback. Yeah, I went full circle and undeleted the Strava activities and deleted the Dropbox activities. I guess the issue why the Strava sync didnā€™t work, was because the activities were automatically deleted when I disconnected from Strava and synced with Dropbox, but when Iā€™ve later deleted the Dropbox activities the Strava ones didnā€™t ā€œsyncā€ because they were ā€œdeletedā€. Anyway, now it seems alright. šŸ˜‰ ---

So, what is the workaround if I want to auto sync TrainerRoad workouts with Intervals.icu? Sorry but Iā€™m getting lost with connections, activities, folders, uploads, downloadsā€¦ **EDIT** : solved! ---

appreciate this is on the dropbox API not you but Iā€™m never comfortable giving out access to all my files via dropbox to a third party app. Nothing against yourself as Iā€™m sure your code is doing nothing it isnā€™t supposed to but I just donā€™t like leaving that level of access open. A second option where you create an app folder and I can put files in that folder for import Iā€™d be happier with - more manual (albeit one Iā€™d automate myself) and I wouldnā€™t get rid of the old option for those comfortable granting full access. I might work out an approach using your API to upload my files manually if that isnā€™t a goer. Thanks though, loving your work. ---

Interestingly Iā€™ve not looked at the level of permissions that Intervals.icu is asking from Dropbox. So, based on your post and my curiosity, this is what it shows Looks like Intervals.icu can access the entire Dropbox Files and Folders (I donā€™t remember if I granted it this way or itā€™s default.) ![Screenshot 2023-03-09 at 3.52.53 PM](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/9/c/9c68d24a5d9ab982f213ce60c8fc0a467a41a231.png) This is what I request for my own app. The App only has access to 1 specific folder on Dropbox. ![Screenshot 2023-03-09 at 3.54.32 PM](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/a/0/a01b9d18a8624eabd60b2c2878e6dabfb32256d6.png) In any case, the connection from BreakAway: Indoor Training to DropBox is only to 1 specific folder and thereā€™s actually no way (that I know of) to get access to any of those files from _my_ end. The connection is only between the App in the Phone and Dropbox. ![Screenshot 2023-03-09 at 3.56.51 PM](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/6/8/6870b5cdecf3e9bf9f2f553613a375cedea4d8d9.png) ---

Thereā€™s nothing stopping you creating a Dropbox folder just for Intervals, that is separate to any private and confidential information. I only use Dropbox for Intervals (HRV4Training and Zwift); my private data is stored elsewhere. ---

that would need a dedicated dropbox account would it not? I could of course do that but hen that would make other things less convenient. ---

thats the way drop box works - itā€™s either App access like youā€™ve done (and what trainer road etc do). That makes sense when youā€™re writing files one one location. Or, itā€™s ā€œdropbox accessā€ which is over the whole folder structure. Which is then how intervals can let you pick access to the folder you want it to read. Problem for me is should intervals be compromised a bad actor could use that access to read everything I store on dropbox. Hence my suggestion - if intervals set up an option for app access with an intervals folder only then I can put files in that folder for intervals to read. Yes in my case Iā€™d want to copy files from my TR app folder to the intervals app folder but Iā€™d be a lot happier doing that. ---

I would argue that the shared folder is not affecting other (not shared) data, otherwise Dropboxā€™s business model would not survive. šŸ˜‰ ---

To go the ā€œapp folderā€ route I would need to create another Dropbox app (easy) carry extra sets of credentials etc. (work) in Intervals.icu.
